whilst strolling the seattle waterfront with his two grandchildren, scanning for shells and beach wood to add to their amateur collection, herman pallifore stumbled upon something he did not expect. as they rounded the point a great beast appeared before them; a dead whale had washed up upon the shore. his grandchildren, drawn to the malodorous scent of the decaying creature, darted into the surf. before he could stop them, they had abruptly halted and fallen backwards into the frigid water, in an obvious act of repulsion. their prepubescent cries pierced the overcast sky, “grandpa! this whale’s got legs!” and as he stumbled past the waves to reach them he saw that the inanimate whale did indeed have small limbs jutting from its pelvic region. how or why this cetacean possessed small, and obviously useless hind limbs was a mystery to herman. being a lifelong commercial real estate dealer, and a somewhat religious man, he naïvely postulated that this was perhaps the devil's work. naïve indeed.
